Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (delayed hyperenhancement)
Delayed hyperenhancement by contrast-enhanced MRI is a valuable technique for accurately identifying infarcted myocardium and characterizing nonischemic patterns of myocardial injury.
Cite This Study
Kim et al. (2006) conducted a review in Various cardiac diseases including myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, and myocarditis. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging with delayed hyperenhancement was evaluated. Delayed hyperenhancement by contrast-enhanced MRI demonstrates clinical utility in identifying infarcted myocardium and characterizing nonischemic patterns in various cardiac diseases.
